From a neurolinguistic perspective of language acquisition, it is true that language acquisition and language learning are processed in two different ways in the brain.

Explanation:

The process of language learning can be deemed to be more indepth and complex than the process of language acquisition. When the brain is simply acquiring a new language, it does not associate the language with the values or the theories already inculcated. This is why the brain processes the two procedures in two distinct ways.
